Re: 3ott issues?

Is it only whilst the engine is running? Can you run through the gears OK with the engine off?

I had this problem with a car of mine a while ago. Would shift fine when not running, but on the go and I had to use both hands to get in in gear. Problem was a loose bracket.

Not sure how a C10 3OTT is set-up but my old car had a bracket that the linkages attached to, which was bolted to the bellhousing or the frame (can't remember). All it did was keep the linkages aligned properly. The bolt kept coming loose, causing too much slop in the linkage rods. Tightened it up with some loc-tite, and never had the problem again.

Trying to looking my factory assembly manual for a layout to see if it has something similar, but you'll probably have the problem fixed by the time I find anything in that book. What a jumbled mess.
